Which application should you use to access a Junos device via SSH?

To access a Junos device via SSH, the Terminal application is a versatile and commonly used option, especially for users operating within Unix-like environments such as macOS or Linux. This application allows for direct command-line communication with the Junos device, which is essential for executing configuration commands and monitoring device status.

Using Terminal, users can easily initiate an SSH session by typing in the appropriate command, such as ssh username@device-ip, thus facilitating secure remote management of the device. The Terminal application provides functionality for both viewing output and sending commands, making it ideal for interacting with Junos devices.

While other applications like Putty, WinSCP, and FileZilla serve specific purposes — such as file transfer (WinSCP and FileZilla) or SSH access primarily on Windows (Putty) — the Terminal application integrates these features and offers comprehensive command-line access for both configuration and management tasks on a wider range of operating systems.
